(Free Beacon) Barnard College’s library shelves are stocked with anti-Israel pamphlets, including some from Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), the anti-Semitic student group behind last spring’s encampments. Others direct readers to content praising assassinated Hamas leaders like Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh and justifying the Oct. 7 attack, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
The pamphlets, known as “zines,” are listed on Columbia University’s online catalog, meaning they were officially incorporated into Barnard’s Milstein Library and not slipped onto the shelves by students. A Free Beacon review found a dozen anti-Israel publications — some of which are available online to students of Barnard and Columbia, its sister school — in the catalog of roughly 4,000 zines. The zine collection is overseen by several Barnard students and director Jenna Freedman, who has long pushed anti-Israel sentiments and helped form a group called Librarians and Archivists for Palestine.
